Women at the Theatres.

A bright actress says that she hates matinees
because ''women audiences are like a Sea of
posts" They eat bon bons, seem to regard the
actresses as inferior creatures, and act as
though the Eghtest commentator in the ma
ture of applause would be a serious breach Of
propriety. It is unnecessary to say the actress
was talking Of provincial matinees. There is
never a lack of aprreciative applause in New
York.-Chicago Herald.

This map shows the provinces that France

neither France nor Germany believes that

The feats that can be performed on the
wheel are wonderful. 10 see a five foot
wheel rolling noiselessly along, with q rigid
wheelman standing nearly upright on the
saddle. Is something Washington bicyclers
are used to. Riding tside saddle" stopping
and standing stock still while still in the sad
die and other feats are common enough. The
performance that is not seen every day, how
ever, Is one nervy young fellows pastime OF
riding down the Capitol steps. No one would
believe it could be done unless it had been
photographed ins~tantaneously. There are
eighty OF these marble steps, and tho daring
wheelman ran start at the top, mount and
continue safely on down to the plaza below
and roll down town as ~unconcerned as If it
were only o matter of an~te-prandial exercise.
Another thing few have done and the posi-
bility OF which is proved to us only by instan-
taneons photography, is riding across the cop
ing Of the famous Cabin John bridge, the
longest stone arch in the world. This three
or four young men nave done. To fall would
have been sure death.
In a place where everybody rides it is sur
prising how soon the average urchin acquires
the art. "A 4-year-old is not by any means
too young to try and the flyers make siashing
and dashing wheelmen. Now and then the
youngsters carry things too far and word
comes p~eremptorily from the family physician
@'That boy must be kept off his bicycle" Blu,
to the boy who has half a body to start with
the wheel ordinarily brings ont good strong
muscles and steady nerves. 1t is but a few
years since bicycling became SO popular In
Washington, and the first wheel that came to
Town Is ssin as good as new and In daily use.
When ten or fifteen years more shall have
| been added to the era of wheeling there is nc
telling what a raceo athletes may then be
darling about over these foorlike p%avements.

Preparations on the Part of Both Ma
tions--Bismarck's Speech.
Those who read the war sky of Europe aver
that there are clouds and storms ahead. Be-
fore many months, they say, there will be
music in the air. The speech Of Bismarck to
the reichstag has called attention anew to
the subject. The equilibrium Of Europe is so
tense that a slight blow at almost any point
would shatter it to fragments.
1t is expected that the fragile fabric will
crack along the line between France and Ger
many. When Bismarck asks for additions to
the army Germany means war, the prophets
say. They recall that Bismarck made the
same sort of speech in the spring of 1866, and
in June of that year took place the battle Of
Sadowa, in which Germany decisively
whipped Austria. Again, in the spring Of
1870, he called attention to the need for
strengthening the imperiel army. Sept. Q of
that year Napoleon III and an army Of 10000
surrendered to the Prussians at Sedan. 1t Is
France again that Bismarck is driving at now.
Years cannot wipe out the wrath and
shame Of France over her defeat by Ger
many. Around the beautiful Place de la
Concorde in Paris are placed statues repre-
senting the principal cities of the departments
of France as they were before Sedan. Among
them is ~Strasbourg, in the lost province of
Alsace. Ever since 1871 the statue has been
hung with those ugly black and white bead
funeral wrcaths SO common in Europe.
Every year, on the anniversary of the taking
of the Bastile, French boys are taken to the
funeral statue and vowed to vengeance for
the loss of the city.
Poor Strasbourg!" the Parisians say, 1--WE
lost her, but we will get her back.n

noiselessly, conquering space for their lucky

bicycler gees where he will, and Is as much
protected by customs and courts as the pedes-

not circumscrihed to any annoying extent by
Belgian blocks, Neufchatel or the old FASH

everywhere, is asphalt-160 miles OF it, in.
